Advanced Manufacturing Jobs and Training

The umbrella of manufacturing today extends far beyond the machine shop floor. Advanced Manufacturing is no longer limited to Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Computer Aided Design (CAD), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). The conventional methods were unable to react to market demand fast enough to produce profits. E-Commerce tools bind our fabrication activities together from the moment a product is ordered until its delivery. The lifecycle of Advanced Manufacturing incorporates Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), and Logistics, as well as the disciplines of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM).

True recognition of the collaborative nature of teamwork has led to the development of tools that make it impossible to create and manufacture products without interdependent technologies. Advanced Manufacturing tools are incorporated in every component of the manufacturing cycle. And the skilled use of these tools requires post secondary training and often years of practice. With this in mind, the Full Employment Council (FEC)(http://www.feckc.org/employer.html) has broadening its Manufacturing efforts to include any and all Advanced Manufacturing functions. As Greater Kansas City enterprises expand, the FEC Missouri One-Stop works to meet the needs of a dynamic and growing market place. FEC reaches out to the employed, under-served, as well as those in the broader community who need help improving their employability and skills. FEC is uniquely positioned to promote qualified individuals into Advanced Manufacturing Careers, and with a sense of urgency, we do so.
